Description
Remove Edge Completely from Win 11 23H2 or Later ISOs.
Remove Edge and Webview or specific components through dism on offline image using hidden command line switches shared by abbodi1406 from MDL forums.
Been dogfooding for more than 6 months on my custom windows 10/11 images (incl. ARM64) and works on windows 11 23h2 and later versions, while windows 10 fallback to normal directory removal.
The dism commands removes everything under Program Files (x86)\Microsoft and retains WebView under system32 for widgets and start menu that depend on webview runtimes.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked Remove-Edge-ISO.ps1 and Remove-Edge-ISO-GUI.ps1 scripts to understand the DISM switches and the Windows-version behavior described in the issue. Then locate the corresponding ISO or image-removal entry point in winutil and determine how the feature should expose those options. Done means Edge and selected components can be removed safely from supported Windows 11 23H2 or later offline images while preserving WebView under system32, with the Windows 10 fallback retained.
